IMPROVEMENT lN BREASTPlN-FASTENINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 197,745, dated December 4, 1877; application filed August 6, 1677.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. SMITH, of the city of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Breastpin-Tongues; and I do hereby declare that the following, taken in connection with the drawings which accompany and form part of this specification, is a description of my invention sufficient to enable those skilled in the art to practice it. 1

The object of my invention is to make a breastpin-tongue without using solder in fastening the tongue to the part that is attached I the sockets, forming a long comb of breastpintongues intact. The tongues are then more securely fastened by pressing the metal of the hinge part into the slots that were made in the tongues before driving them into the sockets. A saw passing between the tongues separates them, when they are ready to be adjusted to any breastpin-joint.

Figure 1 represents a sectional View in accordance with myimprovement without being pointed. Fig. 2 is a side view. Fig. 3 is a front view, represented as being adjusted to a breastpin. Fig. 4 is an end view adjusted to a breastpin.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isi In a breastpin-fastening, the combination of the slotted tongue 0 with the transverselycorrugated strip B and flanged strip A, substantially as and for the purpose described.

CHARLES E. SMITH.
